I second that. I tried and failed (dismally)

Some years ago my thought processes went along the same "cheapie" lines. Ye Gods, the sound was atrocious.

So, deep breath, if you like good sound, then get used to the idea that your centre channel will cost the same speaker and amplifier wise as one of your two stereo ones.

Furthermore, there are HUGE differences in how well processors change the digital matrix to discrete analog. Try to save there (yes, I'm also guilty of that) and you will end up with crappy sound.

Much as it irritates those dedicated to 2CH, surround sound IS great BUT you must be prepared to spend up if you want good results.

Bottom line, if there are budgetary restraints at the moment, wait until the finances are better. Otherwise you will waste dollars and be most unhappy with the result. Enjoy your 2CH until you can upgrade to that standard elsewhere.
